Testing a pre-surgery infusion to improve liver cancer outcomes
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving medicine directly into the liver blood vessels before surgery can improve survival for people with liver cancer that has a blockage (tumor in the portal vein). It compares this approach plus surgery versus surgery alone in a randomized study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 74 (inclusive).
- Your cancer diagnosis is confirmed as liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
- Your tumor and the portal vein blockage are expected to be removable during one surgery.
- There is no spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis).
- Your recent blood and liver/kidney tests meet required levels (especially blood counts and liver function).
- You have not had any prior treatment for the tumor (and pregnancy is not included).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab), a targeted anti-angiogenic drug (bevacizumab biosimilar), and liver-directed therapies (TACE-HAIC) before and after surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma that has spread to the portal vein. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes for patients with advanced but resectable liver cancer.
This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cadonilimab (and a related treatment plan) plus TIPS can help people with advanced liver cancer that has a tumor clot causing portal vein pressure problems. It aims to improve disease control while managing the circulation pressure in the liver.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy directly into the liver blood supply before a liver transplant can help people with liver cancer that is beyond standard transplant criteria. It may help lower cancer risk around the time of transplant while keeping people healthy enough to receive the transplant.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (donafenib and sintilimab) plus a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion (HAIC) before surgery for liver cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of focused radiation (SBRT), an immunotherapy drug (adelimumab), and a targeted therapy pill (apatinib) before surgery for liver cancer. The goal is to shrink tumors enough to make surgery possible or more effective.
